Senior Motion Designer

Harvey is transforming legal and professional services with frontier agentic AI, an enterprise‑grade platform, and deep domain expertise. The company is scaling quickly, defining a new category, and looking for a Senior Motion Designer to shape motion across brand, product storytelling, launch moments, web experiences, customer education, and executive‑facing creative work. This senior individual contributor role sits within Brand and Design, reporting to the Head of Motion, and is expected to raise the motion craft bar while maintaining a hands‑on, low‑ego approach.

Responsibilities

• Support the motion design language for Harvey’s brand across launch videos, product explainers, web and campaign moments, event assets, social cuts, sales enablement, and other high‑leverage creative surfaces.
• Create motion concepts, storyboards, style‑frames, animatics, and final motion assets that make complex AI workflows feel clear, premium, and unmistakably Harvey.
• Partner closely with Brand, Product Marketing, Product Design, Creative Operations, and other GTM stakeholders to translate positioning, product context, and user needs into motion narratives that can ship quickly.
• Develop reusable motion systems, templates, animation principles, and production workflows so Harvey can scale motion output without reinventing the wheel on every request.
• Use judgment to scope work appropriately across polished hero moments, scrappy launch needs, quick‑turnaround edits, and longer‑term brand‑system investments.
• Raise the craft bar for motion while remaining willing to do the unglamorous but important production work required in a fast‑moving creative team.

Requirements

• A strong portfolio of motion work demonstrating storytelling, art direction, animation craft, visual systems thinking, and clear process documentation.
• Deep fluency in motion design tools and workflows such as After Effects, Figma, Cinema 4D, Lottie, Rive, code‑adjacent motion, or comparable production tools.
• Experience building motion for brand, product, marketing, launch, or education contexts, ideally in a product‑led technology company or high‑growth SaaS environment.
• Ability to simplify complex concepts visually without overloading the viewer, with strong instincts for pacing, sequencing, hierarchy, narration, and accessibility.
• Strong cross‑functional communication skills, including clarifying briefs, aligning with PMM or Marketing goals, handling competing feedback, and prioritizing multiple stakeholder requests.
• A staff‑level ownership mindset: capable of shaping ideas and systems, operating through ambiguity, giving and receiving feedback, and rolling up sleeves to execute when needed.
